Tbh I’m not sure lol. Personally I’ve struggled with a lot of mental health issues since I was young so I’m finding it hard to say whether we should live life to its fullest or just accept the feeling of finally feeling ok. What do you consider meaningless btw?


That was really insightful tysm for replying. I feel like you’ve thought about this before haha.

Yeah I think you might be right, sometimes it feels like a day’s been wasted because I didn’t spend it exactly how I envision a good day, but there are different kinds of good. Every experience and feeling is unique and it’s hard to say that one experience or feeling is objectively better than another.

Also I like your phrasing ‘happy to live’, it sounds like contendedness which I do believe is possible unlike permanent happiness. Have you heard of that infinite happiness machine thing btw?


Tbh I think if this genuinely happened and I just found out right now, I would just start walking and not stopping. I would think I’d be the most mindful and alert I have ever been in my life and I wouldn’t want to waste that. I also imagine I would also probably be extremely nice to everyone. Like someone’s walking in the rain or something and I’d just hand them the coat I was wearing for them to keep. It would look really weird lol but I think that’s the kind of hyper-selflessness that you’d just do without even a thought if you knew you were about to die.

Thanks for asking this question btw it’s very intriguing. It makes me wonder if it’s even remotely possible to live each day like it’s your last y’know.


Is there a website that offers similar kind of content as YouTube, except in a written format rather than a video one.
I'm someone who just much prefers reading to watching YouTube — I like being able to go at my pace. So I was wondering if anyone here knows of any kind of website or app which has long form written content about interesting topics. Thank you! :)

Mhm, I do this too! It really helps in finding answers to very specific questions


I agree with you! Imo it would be amazing if people would use the fediverse (i.e. mastodon) for their twitter experience but sadly for whatever reason it hasn’t worked. A lot of people who went to mastodon went back to twitter (I think? I read that somehwere so not totally sure)

But yeah I read a BBC article today that quoted Zuckerberg on some of his goals for the platform. The keyword I remember is ‘friendly’. And I liked how he talked about his vision for the platform in general.

Ofc Zuckerberg isn’t a saint but imo he isn’t anywhere near as bad as that loud mouthed prick Elon so if my favourite celebrities move there instead I’ll be happy :)
